its on the CA damo! anyone got a stock CA18det sump laying around (dale) hehe..

and need urgently a Small FMIC like the jjr one.. dont have the time to wait for it to come!

Get on the phone to jap wreckers!

I had a big dent in my sump on the 32 when I had it, I just put in a bit extra oil till it was just above full on the dip stick - the dent made it look fuller then it was.

lol dude read that and have a think about it...

what did i miss since page 1337? lol

oh, for anyones entertainment tomorrow. want to see what 60 odd army trucks vs anzac highway looks like, come down to keswick barracks about 2 tomorrow arvo. we're MEANT to be turning right when we leave there.............and SAPOL are going to be stopping traffic

should say there'll be many lols

yep tried.. and nothing..

nothing small enough to fit ne ways!

ruby i think 450 is a tad too wide.. ill measure it up again and get back to u!

how much would u want for it?

As for the sump, post a topic in the WTB section on NS.com. I wouldn't pay more than $50 if that, Infact in the post put that you are looking for a CA sump and you are willing to pay $50 that way you will only have to deal with people that are realistic.

As for the intercooler, that is the size that i'm running except mine is 76mm thick;

AJD? Didn't know that was your car. I would've said hi otherwise.

I think I misquoted. Mine might also be 76mm thick. Originally got that size to fill the Dayz bar. But now I have the typeM bar, I needed a bigger cooler to fill it ... so I got a Cooling Pro item :)

Adrian, check your measurements and allow a further 150mm for the end tanks etc on top of the 450mm. If it suits you, I'd be after $120 for the cooler ... its lightly sprayed in satin black btw.

Anyone know how to remove the factory oil pressure switch?

Need to put in a proper gauge for tomorrows track day and the factory unit wont budge!

nvm just worked out that there's a 17mm size nut holding it in on the other side...

good f**king luck getting to it for me though, don't have a long enough spanner nor size 3 Japanese hands to get in there.

hey all need some help! i am about to re insure my car but was reading the fine print saying that all mods must be roadworthy, legal and written on the document, so my power fc which is covered on the document isnt considered legal (is it?) nor is the turbo timer ect ect, so does this mean that i wont b covered?

anyone know what prices i should be paying for new leads and a belt kit for my corolla at all?

changed the spark plugs today and the leads are looking a bit worst for wear and so is one of the belts.

but steve that was thru Just car insurance and i know a sh*t load of people with jap cars thru them with mods like 80 % of people on here, like power fc's ect they say on the forms (new computer/ ecu) which is what they r but then in sa there considered illegal so does that mean that them putting it on there site is just to make people think they will b covered or what?

yeah Chris cant answer that one i would depend on the assessor on the day and all sorts of contributing factors

i was making a point that if they deem that mod to of caused the accident its highly likely they will void your insurance

insurance is like a lottery your dammed if you do and dammed if your dont

just cars seem to pay even if its got illegal mods, i know someone that came off the road on a corner with coil overs, ecu, external fuel pump shit, illegal turbo setup do i need to list the rest of the shit. it still got covered they gave him the agreed 10k i think it was and then sold his wreck.

would depend on how much they in for and circumstances of the crash. if you are completely at fault hit 3 ferrari's and did 100k of damage to gov property i dare say they will try to play the illegal mods card to get out of having to cover you. if you talking just a 8k write off + they can get some back for your wrecked car when they sell it. then its prob in their interest to pay for publicitys sake.

Mate of mine wrote off his R33 in a sidestreet went straight into a curb thing that sticks out (it jumped out at him out of nowhere)... he was with Just Car, no mods listed, write off, he was at fault... he received his payout from them - near $20k.

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
